Product Overview

1,5-CyclOctadiene (COD) is a high-purity cyclic diolefin supplied in a stabilized, redistilled form to ensure maximum consistency and reliability in laboratory applications. With a minimum purity of 99%, this reagent is meticulously purified to eliminate impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions. The AcroSeal® packaging guarantees long-term stability by minimizing exposure to moisture and oxygen, preserving the compound’s integrity during storage and handling. Its unique structure, featuring two double bonds in a strained eight-membered ring, makes it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in transition-metal catalysis and polymerization processes. The liquid form allows for easy dispensing and precise volume control, while the stabilized formulation reduces the risk of degradation over time. Whether used as a ligand in organometallic chemistry or as a building block in complex molecular architectures, this grade of 1,5-CyclOctadiene delivers reproducible results, making it a staple in advanced research and development workflows.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 1,5-CyclOctadiene when stored properly?

When stored in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, the product retains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Is this grade of 1,5-CyclOctadiene compatible with standard glassware?

Yes, it is fully compatible with borosilicate glass and most common laboratory glassware. However, ensure containers are clean and dry to prevent contamination or premature degradation.

3. Are there any known alternatives to 1,5-CyclOctadiene for similar applications?

Alternatives like 1,3-cyclohexadiene or norbornadiene may be used in certain reactions, but they differ in ring strain and reactivity. 1,5-CyclOctadiene is often preferred for its balanced stability and versatility in metal-catalyzed processes.

4. What precautions should be taken during handling to maintain purity?

Use in a fume hood or well-ventilated area, and avoid prolonged exposure to air. Seal the container tightly after each use, and employ dry syringes or inert gas techniques when transferring the liquid to minimize oxidation.

5. How does the AcroSeal® packaging enhance the product’s stability?

The AcroSeal® system features a specialized bottle design with a PTFE-lined cap and an integrated septum, reducing gas exchange and moisture ingress. This extends shelf life and maintains the compound’s high purity during storage.
